2 Claims. (01. 248-19) The present invention relates particularly to that type of devices used in mounting motors in operative position relative to the work they are to perform.

It is the object of this invention to provide a motor rail for the purpose indicated that will permit a motor to be mounted in any desired position, be it horizontal or vertical or at any angle between the two positions.

It is also an object to provide a device of the character indicated that will be economical to manufacture, strong and durable, and highly efficient in its practical application.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is an isometric perspective of one element embodying my invention, part being broken away.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the other element embodying my invention, partly broken away.

Figure 3 is a sectional view on line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Referring now more specifically to the drawing, I show at I an element designed for mounting in any desired position through the medium of slots as at 2 and suitable bolts not shown. The end portions of this element are turned outwardly as shown at 3 and 4, thence into parallel relation with the main body portion as at and 6, thence backwardly into parallel relation with the parts 3 and i as shown at 'l and 8. The portions 3 and 4 have holes formed in their centers as at 9 and I9, and the part 8 has a hole II formed in its center in axial alignment with the holes 9 and Ill.

The last named hole II has a stop member I2 mounted to swing on a pin IS in parts 4 and 8, and normally held over said hole by means of a spring member IA.

The part mounted rigidly on the motor is shown at I5 and has its end portions rolled into pins as shown at E9 and I7 that slide readily and easily into holes 9 and I0.

It being assumed that the part I is fixedly mounted in the desired position, and the part I5 fixedly mounted on a motor, the stop member I2 is moved to completely uncover the hole II by pressing down on the end I2a. The pin I'I formed on one end of member I5 is now thrust through the hole I0 and the uncovered hole II until pin I5 clears the edge of part 3 and is allowed to slip into the hole 9 and into contact with the opposing end portion I. When this final position of the motor is achieved the pin I! has dropped back through the hole II and stop member I2 is allowed to return to its normal position as shown in Figure 3, and holds the motor against longitudinal movement and displacement on its mounting.

While I have shown and described only the preferred form of my invention, it should be understood that various changes and modifications may be made within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.

I claim:

1. A device of the character described comprising, an elongated element fixedly mountable on a support and having similarly turned end portions having holes formed therein, one end portion having an extension to form a stop in spaced relation to said hole, and the other end portion having an extension provided with a hole in axial alignment with the first mentioned holes, and an elongated member having pinlike members extending from its opposite ends and adapted to pass through said holes in said first mentioned element, said member being mountable on a motor.

2. The structure set forth in claim 1 wherein the hole in the extension on the second mentioned end is normally blocked by a resiliently mounted stop member.
